The Raiders believe both of Brown’s training camp issues — feet with frostbite like symptoms and the helmet issue — are in the rear-view mirror. Coach Jon Gruden believes Brown is on track to start Week 1 against the Denver Broncos on Monday night, Sept. 9.

Brown, according to Profootballtalk.com, has narrowed his options on a helmet from multiple companies and is expected to receive an endorsement deal when he selects one to use in the regular season.
